Chapter 1718 Wraiths
Chapter 1718 Wraiths
"We took the mission because of the information he passed before he died!
The Lion Head, Simba, spoke.
Nux narrowed his eyes, waiting for the man to continue.
"The Death Energy that had surrounded Umbrasol and is now leaking out, we call it the Reaper's Veil. The Reaper's Veil has become a threat to the surrounding worlds.
For now, the Supreme Worlds have used their powers to teleport Umbrasol extremely far away, so it is not very dangerous for now, however, it is definitely not a threat we can ignore.
If not today, then in a few million or a billion years, when the Death Energy from the Reaper's Veil grows strong enough to reach here without being completely destroyed by the Universal Energy in space, we won't be able to handle it.
This is also the reason why this mission isn't closed or taken down despite so many failed attempts."
"What about the Supreme Worlds? Have they given up? Why didn't they solve the problem directly instead of delaying it?
They sent an Eternal, why not send an Infinity? I'm sure an Infinity Level Being would be able to deal with the problem!"
Hearing Nux's words, Simba just stared at him with a dumbfounded look on his face. Then, he laughed out loud.
"I guess people who do not know much would indeed think like that."
Nux frowned.
"Do you think Infinity Level Beings just lay around all over the place?
They are the Peak Existences in the entire Universe. Each one of them has power so unfathomable that no one in the entire Universe would even think about going against them.
Even if they are from the Supreme World, mobilizing an Infinity Level Being isn't easy. Infinities are either Progenitors of those Worlds or beings strong enough to stand toe to toe with the Progenitors.
Also, this isn't a problem that could be solved by a stronger cultivator.
This is also the reason why people like us dared to touch this mission!"
"The information..."
Nux muttered, and Simba nodded.
Then, he waved his hand, and suddenly, a projection of a world covered with black energy appeared right in front of Nux and Simba.
"This is Umbrasol. The Black Energy surrounding it is the Reaper's Veil. See it leaking out? This shows that the entirety of the world is filled with this energy.
According to the mission, you are supposed to enter this world.
Of course, no being other than those who have power over Death can do that. For others, just. entering this world is a death sentence."
Simba stared at Nux.
Nux raised his hand, and suddenly, Black Mist came out. The Mist moved toward a nearby plant, and in an instant. its leaves dried out.
Seeing that, Simba nodded.
Nux nodded back.
Yes, it was the Devouring Mist.
Nux knew that Devouring Mist wasn't exactly the Energy of Death. Although Acliana did think Devouring Mist was related to the Primordial Energy of Death since the Black Hole devoured it, after devouring all the worlds and absorbing all the knowledge, Nux realized that instead of Primordial Energy of Death, Devouring Mist represented Primordial Energy of Destruction.
Yes, the two of them had similar properties, but they were essentially different.
Of course, normal people didn't know that. Heck, many didn't even know about Primordial Energies in general.
This was the reason why Simba thought whatever he used was related to Death. If even someone like Acliana made a mistake, then Simba making the same mistake wasn't out of the ordinary.
Of course, that helped Nux, since he didn't have a power directly related to Death, Devouring Mist would do.
For now, Nux decided to focus on the projection.
They were getting closer and closer to the Reaper's Veil, before finally, they entered Umbrasol.
"Once you enter Umbrasol, there are a few things you need to be aware of.
Simba spoke as suddenly, a Black Tornado could be seen in the projection, and it wasn't just one; there were many of them all over the place.
"We call it a Deathstorm. There are a lot of these all over, just like you see here. You can still avoid the Reaper's Veil because you have some power over Death. However, the Deathstorms are different.
No matter what sort of power you have, the moment you are close to it, it doesn't matter how strong you are, it is over!
Simba spoke, and suddenly, the projection showed a being who couldn't avoid the Deathstorm in time. His body was instantly devoured, never to be seen again.
Nux raised his eyebrow.
"Another thing is that inside Umbrasol, all other powers that are not related to Death are suppressed and cannot be used."
"What?"
Nux blinked in surprise.
"Yes, inside, you can only use that Mist you showed me!
"The next thing!
"There's more?"
Nux questioned.
"Of course. If it was just that, the Mission wouldn't be a Black Mission: Simba smiled mysteriously. Then suddenly, the projection showed a Semi-Corporeal being. Its body shifted between mist and solid matter, and it had a ghostly, spectral appearance that was difficult to focus on. Its skin appeared ashen and decaying, with some of it hanging down. It wore a black-colored cloak with a hood that. covered most of its face with darkness, making none of its features visible. The only thing that could be seen were its faintly glowing eerie eyes that exuded an unsettling stillness.
"These are wraiths"
Simba spoke.
"These beings are the reason this mission is so dangerous.
For Wraiths to be formed, two things are required:
Death Energy and a Soul.
Umbrasol has almost endless Death Energy, so that was never the problem. As for the other one..."
"We're sending it right to them!
Nux spoke, understanding what Simba was trying to say.
Simba stared at Nux and nodded.
"If the people sent there die, they are turned into Wraiths.
So far, almost 90,000 beings have been sent to Umbrasol.
"So that means there are 90,000 Wraiths there...?"
"Yes, but that's not all.
Numbers wouldn't matter if one is strong enough. The problem is..."
